If anyone could give me some much needed advice about a rear end tube shock
conversion, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a '67 Plus 4 lowline and purchased a rear end conversion kit at the
factory during a visit in May.  I've been making attempts to install it with
the objective of finishing it this weekend.  Here's the problem.  After
installing the bracket on the underside of the inside inner rear wheel, I note
that when I slide the shock on the bracket that there is not enough clearance
for the shock to come inward and attach to the cross member that will bolt to
the chassis.  The chassis is in the way.  The distance between the surface of
the inside plate which the bracket bolts onto and the chassis is only about
two inches.  Because the bracket is low, the tube shock rests on the chassis
before it is able to come close to lining up with the connection at the top
end of the cross bar tube.  I'm not sure that I have the proper rear end on my
car as the number on the differential is not the same as what is listed on the
factory records.  I don't have the exact numbers at hand but the factory
records show that the number should be D66-xxx,  when in actuality, the number
is B58-xxx.  In checking with several friends, their numbers start with a
letter and two numbers which coincide very closely with the year of
manufacture.  Do I have a 1958 rear end ? And if so, is it appreciably
different from the the proper one.
I hope this garble some sense.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Myron Koenig, '67 Plus 4, [513] 321-0165, MyHeKoenig@AOL.com.
